Newer TV's do have a small camera eye pointing right at you. Covered mine with happy face sticker. Look for a very small fisheye in lower edge of screen frame.

Watch the movie about Snowden and how these little cameras can be turned on by snoop organizations and of course, criminals, without you knowing it, to listen and watch what you do (from phones, tv's, baby monitors, all other smart gear attached to you, your home and vehicle)"

1984 was a prophecy rather than a work of fiction.

So, let's dance and entertain big bro.

nothing wrong with being open minded as long as your brains don't fall out.

We are like the cattle that are eartagged to track the route from land to plate so that if a disease like bovine encephalopathy turned up, the source could be quickly tracked down and dealt with.

We just "eartag" ourselves and pay a pretty penny to do so.

Perhaps someday, implants placed under our skin at birth, will track us down should we deviate into forbidden zones of action or thought against existing government.

I recently read a book by a hacker turned honest who now teaches, lectures, checks out big and small businesses for cyber security flaws and tests computer code for planted bugs. Really interesting. I think it was titled "how to protect yourself in the computer age" or something like that. If you want me to be more specific I can check my library loans records, which is on the net and therefore will NEVER be lost or erased! Ha ha
